We recently held a Joint Degree Information Session on campus for anyone interested in combining an MBA with any masters or PhD program on the ILLINOIS campus. We had over 70 in attendance. Joint degrees allow students to earn two graduate degrees simultaneously. Typically, the period of study is shorter than if each degree was pursued independently. The MBA portion can be completed in three semesters opposed to four, since we'll share credits with the other program.
Popular joint degree programs include Law, Engineering, Labor and Employment Relations, Architecture, and Computer Science. For more information please visit Joint Degree Programs.
Joint degree programs are a great way to differentiate yourself, and allow you to really specialize in a specific field. If you are interested in a joint degree at ILLINOIS please contact our admissions office at 217-244-7602 or mba@illinois.edu and the graduate program of study you want to combine with an MBA.

On the road with admissions...
Yesterday I particpated in the MBA Tour in downtown Chicago for the Illinois MBA. Tour events are geared towards prospective MBA candidates, where they are able to hear from admissions officers from different b-schools. We started out the event with an admissions panel titled "How Admissions Decisions are Made." Then I gave my presentation about the Illinois MBA, prospective students were able to choose what b-school presentations they wanted to hear. The evening wrapped up with school fair, where many alumni from the different schools were present to speak with prospective students.
The Illinois MBA is on the road a lot this fall, check out our events page for a complete listing of everywhere we are traveling this year and for more details. Here's a peak at the next few events in September:
